LOS ANGELES - The fifth-ranked UCLA women's tennis team improved to 4-0 on the season on Wednesday, dispatching of LMU, 7-0 at the Los Angeles Tennis Center. It marked the first of two matches in as many days for the Bruins, who will also host UC Irvine on Thursday at 1:30 p.m.

With freshman Jennifer Brady out of Wednesday's lineup, UCLA had to do some shuffling in doubles. Brady's normal partner, Robin Anderson, played at court No. 3 with Kelly Shaffer, as the duo went on to a 6-1 victory over Lisa Piller and Reka Rohonyi. The Bruins clinched the point at the No. 1 position, where Catherine Harrison and Kyle McPhillips were 6-1 winners over Miya Jin and Jessica Perez.

UCLA was equally as dominant in singles play, winning all six matches in straight sets. Anderson, the nation's No. 1 player, paced the Bruins in singles, as she was first off the court following a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Jin at court No. 1. A 6-2, 6-2 victory by Harrison over 97th-ranked Lauri Mueller at court No. 4 then brought UCLA within a point of clinching the win. Ninth-ranked Chanelle Van Nguyen would provide that clinching win when she downed Perez, 7-5, 6-1.

Other singles winners on the day for UCLA were McPhillips (court No. 3), Courtney Dolehide (court No. 5) and Shaffer (court No. 6).
